METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PULLING ON A LIMB A TUBULAR COMPRESSIVE ORTHOTIC DEVICE SUCH AS A STOCKING, TIGHTS OR SOCK MADE OF KNITTED ELASTIC TEXTILE MATERIAL

摘要

The invention concerns a method comprising the following steps: a) wrapping the limb (22), if required with dressings or bandages present on said limb, over a length corresponding at least to the length of the orthotic device (18), with a flexible sleeve (10) made from a material with low friction coefficient and high tensile and tear strength; b) pulling on and setting in place the orthotic device on the part of the limb wrapped with the sleeve, said operation being manually carried out by slipping over its entire length the orthotic device on the sleeve inserted between orthotic device and limb; and c) once the orthotic device pulled on and set in place, removing the inserted sleeve by pulling, causing it to slip between the orthotic device and the limb, which come into mutual contact as the sleeve is removed.
